How to buy AirSwap (AST)

How to buy and use AirSwap (AST) on its native network

AirSwap (AST) is a decentralized peer-to-peer token trading network that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses smart contracts to allow users to trade ERC-20 tokens without intermediaries. The project provides tools such as Instant for trading, Spaces for NFT marketplaces, and DexIndex.

Verified routes to get AST

The following routes are verified in our database for acquiring AST:

• Coinbase Exchange (AST/USD)

What the native network does

AST operates as a token on the Ethereum network. This allows it to use the security and smart contract capabilities of Ethereum to run its Swap protocol. The network enables the creation of decentralized trading environments where users exchange assets directly.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

Users must verify the contract address before sending AST to avoid loss of funds. On Ethereum, the contract address is 0x27054b13b1b798b345b591a4d22e6562d47ea75a. A contract also exists for Gnosis Chain at 0x743a991365ba94BFC90Ad0002CAD433c7a33cb4a.

Transfers require the native gas token of the network being used. For example, transactions on the Ethereum network require ETH to pay for network fees.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving AST to a private wallet requires confirming that the destination wallet supports the specific network used. Deposit and withdrawal support for the listed exchanges is not verified. Users should check for country-specific KYC requirements and account limits before using these platforms.

Common mistakes include using a lookalike contract address or sending tokens to the wrong network. These errors often result in the permanent loss of assets.
